National School Nurse Day will be celebrated Wednesday, May 7. This day of recognition has been celebrated annually since 1972 to foster a better understanding of the role of the school nurse in the educational setting.

Governor M. Jodi Rell has issued a statement officially proclaiming May 7 as School Nurse Day in the State of Connecticut. The governorâs proclamation encourages all residents to support, and commemorate, the contributions of all Connecticut school nurses who work diligently to improve the health and welfare of Connecticut students.

The role of the school nurse has certainly evolved over time; however, it is always guided by the specialized practice of nursing that advances the well-being, academic success, and lifelong achievement of students. School nurses often serve as the first-line providers of health care for students, addressing their physical, psychological, and emotional health concerns. School nurses promote health and wellness by providing health education to individuals and groups, through direct treatment for acute and chronic conditions, emergency care for students and staff, collaboration with families and primary care providers, and referrals to community and state agencies.

Everyone is encouraged to reflect upon the contributions of school nurses across the state and to recognize and acknowledge the school nurses in the community on National School Nurse Day.

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
